Hargreaves delighted with dream result

Torquay United captain Chris Hargreaves could not contain his delight after the club booked their place in the Football League with a 2-0 win over Cambridge United in the Blue Square Premier play-off final on Sunday.

The skipper was on the scoresheet along with top scorer Tim Sills as the Gulls ended a two-year spell in non-league football with a 2-0 win over the U's at Wembley.

"It's a dream come true in every sense of the word," Hargreaves told This Is South Devon.

"I'm so delighted for everyone connected with the club.

"I'm particularly delighted for my family. I've put them through hell for season after season.

"My son Cameron is 10 years old and he's seen a lot of football. He's been with me through some tough times."

Meanwhile, defender Chris Todd, who has spent most of the season battling leukemia admitted he never thought he would be celebrating promotion with his team-mates.

"This has just been incredible. If you had asked me six months ago if I would be at Wembley getting promotion I would have laughed at you, but it has happened now and I am enjoying every minute," he said.

"This club deserved to get back into the league, and now we've got to push on."
